Hive For The Holidays!

On Another Note.

On a happy note, I decided to take some money I had left over from the end of the month and purchase a subscription to National Geographic Magazine. It was only $15 for a one year subscription on their web site and they also have other magazines by the company also on sale. If you have kids, or know someone who does, that love animals then by all means go pick up a National Geographic for Kids Subscription. It's only $8 for a one year and they will get hours of fun out of it.

Just pointing out a good deal when I see one.

Just back from seeing The Day the Earth Stood Still. I had heard it was bad, but I'd never would have thought it'd be that BAD!

There was only two good moments in the whole movie. Even Conan the Destroyer was better as a movie...

Now, if only I could get my hands on the original '51 version...

This is why you stick your modem and router on top of something that can only hold it and nothing else or put something on that shelf that will not spill. I've had many electronic things ruined over the years because of careless accidents like spilling a beverage on top of it.

Hopefully there will be little trouble in getting it replaced Dog Moon.

Well, my roommate owns the TV and stuff so in February when we move from the apartment into a townhouse, he was actually planning on getting some sort of structure to put the TV on with all the systems and whatnot so all the cords were funneled through the back and basically make it look like a nice setup. ALMOST 12 months without a problem and only 2 months before moving and modifying everything...is when we have the dreaded spill.

Played the Starcraft Boardgame. Pretty fun. Although there's so many rules that it seems like you need to play an entire game first just to get everything straight in your head before playing a serious game. After playing this game, we ALL realized lots of stuff and how we'd play it differently if we had a second chance.

Blizzard tends to make good games no matter what the medium.. but they tend to go a little rules heavy on everything that requires manipulating something physical. I wonder how World of Warcraft would have turned out if blizzard made it into it's own pen and paper RPG system (instead of going OGL with White wolf's help).

It could be worse, you could have been at the Indiana Jones Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls test audience...


Because I hear something similar to the end of Raiders of the Lost Arch happened at the screening.

Actually, Fantasy Flight Games made the Board Game. They sort of consulted with Blizzard on a few things, but I believe that most of the creation came from the folks at FFG.

Raiders of the Lost Arch?

Close enough.
